Obelisk of the Geographical Center of Asia, Kyzyl, Tuva, Russia
The location of the geographical centre of Asia (Russian: Центр Азии; Tuvan: Азияның Төвү; Chinese: 亚洲地理中心) depends on the definition of the borders of Asia, mainly whether remote islands are included to define the extreme points of Asia, and on the method of calculating the final result.
Also on the projection used (radial projection on the plane vs. projection on a geoid), there is no objectively correct way of finding "the centre of Asia". Thus, several places claim to host this hypothetical centre.
The first official declaration of the Centre of Asia was made in the 1890s by the British traveller,[clarification needed] and calculated to be near the Manor house of Estate of Safyanov in Saldam (modern Tuva, Russia) at 52°29′00″N96°05′09″E / 52.48333°N 96.08583°E / 52.48333; 96.08583. There is a monument commemorating that fact in the estate garden.[1][2][3]
